| David Krabbenhoft is a research scientist
with the U.S. Geological Survey. He has general research interests in geochemistry
and hydrogeology of aquatic ecosystems. Dave began working on environmental mercury
cycling, transformations, and fluxes in aquatic ecosystems with the Mercury in
Temperate Lakes project in 1988; since then, the topic has consumed his professional
life. In 1994, Dave established the USGS’s Mercury Research Laboratory,
which includes a team of multi-disciplinary mercury investigators. The laboratory
is a state of the art, analytical facility strictly dedicated to the analysis
of mercury, with low-level speciation. In 1995, he initiated the multi-agency
Aquatic Cycling of Mercury in the Everglades (ACME) project. More recently, Dave
has been a Primary Investigator on the internationally conducted Mercury Experiment
To Assess Atmospheric Loadings in Canada and the US (METAALICUS) project, which
is a novel effort to examine the ecosystem-level response to loading an entire
watershed with mercury. The Wisconsin Mercury Research Team is currently active
on projects from Alaska to Florida, and from California to New England. Since
1990, he has authored or coauthored over 50 papers on mercury in the environment.
In 2006, Dave will serve as the co-host for the 8th International Conference
on Mercury as a Global Pollutant in Madison, Wisconsin. |
